Some schadenfraude as I share the laments of CenterMaryland's Josh KurtzA bipartisan success with the passage of Criminal Justice ReformHow the passage of "Noah's Law" shows us what is wrong with legislative policymaking.I share the outcome of the cycling lobby's legislative agenda.

Yesterday Red Maryland submitted a Public Information Act Request to the Office of Attorney General Brian Frosh concerning his involvement with AGs United for Clean Energy. The Attorney General should be forthright about his ivolvement with this organization. If this is being driven by left-wing rent-seeking organizations that are looking for a taxpayer handout, you have a right to know.

The Democrats like to say that we should pass laws, becuase sometimes "If it saves on child, it's worth it." So explain the transgender bathroom bills....

The Air Raid airs Sundays at 8 PM on the Red Maryland Network.......and don't forget that you can subscribe to all Red Maryland Network programming on iTunes and on Stitcher.

On the Pre-SineDie Edition of the RedMaryland NewsHour for 4/8/16:

* Gov. Larry Hogan breaks some boards.

* He has some, but not all, of his appointments to boards approved.

* He signs some bills, vetoes others, and will let some become law without his signature.

* Both the Governor and Comptroller get hot about a lack of AC.

* Families of some heroes are helped, and some bad bills are killed.

This, and more, are covered as we approach the end of the 2016 session of the Maryland General Assembly.

No doubt you saw Governor Larry Hogan's Taekwondo demonstration earlier this week. While he may have chopped through the boards of partisan gridlock, he can't do that to Mike Miller and Mike Busch to make them move on redistricting reform.

It's a brand new episode of Red Maryland Radio live tonight at 8PM.

On this week's show:

As we move towards the end of session, Governor Hogan is letting some things pass without a veto, but is vetoing some important local legislation;Will the Justice Reinvestment Act be the biggest long-term change from this session?A new poll shows deep divides in the Democratic Senate primary and nobody really thinking about the Republican one;Democratic activists are just as bullish on the future of Maryland conservatism as we are. We'll discuss.

All that and more is why you can’t afford to miss an episode of Red Maryland Radio on the Red Maryland Network…….and don’t forget that you can subscribe to all Red Maryland Network programming on iTunes and on Stitcher.

This morning the Baltimore Sun urges the Senate to reject one of Governor Larry Hogan's appointees to the Handgun Permit Review Board. This call for rejection says more about the Baltimore Sun's position that private citizens should not own guns and that guns should only be possessed by the military, law enforcement, and criminals than it does about the nominee.

Today is one of the most important days of the year. Not because of what's happening in Annapolis, but because of what's happening in Baltimore...
